its flowers. The leaves are thick and fleshy and of a very bright green, and 

 the lower part of the branches is covered with a nearly white, smooth bark, 

 which has a very striking effect when contrasted with the intense green of 

 the leaves and the deep scarlet of the flowers. Its habit of growth is 

 evidently to become pendent, but it may be treated as a sort of low climbing 

 shrub, and it will probably " blossom occasionally throughout the whole 

 year." {Paxt. Mag. of BoL, Feb. 1843.)

This appears to be the same plant as that figured under the name of Co- 

 lumned splendens in Paxton's Alagazine, and, if not the same, is evidently very 

 nearly allied to it, and requires the same treatment. It has flowered in 

 December, January, and May. (Bot. Mag., June, 1843.)

This is another of the numerous plants for which the botanical world is 

 indebted to Mr. Veitch of Exeter, and which he has imported from Brazil. 

 The present species is, however, more curious than beautiful, as its corollas, 

 from their peculiar shape, have the appearance of being deformed. (Bot. 

 Mag., Oct. 1843.) 



Drymonin punctata Lindl. " This curious plant has the habit of a Sinningra 

 with a creeping stem, and it was introduced from Guatemala by M. Hartweg." 

 The flowers are of a pale cream-colour, and the leaves of a light green with a 

 crimson midrib. (Bot. Reg., Sept. 1842, Misc.)

This is said to be a plant raised by Messrs. Chandler more than twenty years 

 ago, and it appears to be the same as that generally called R. azaledides, see 

 Hort. Brit. (Paxt. Mag. of Bot., Aug. 1843.)

This is a garden variety of R. arboreum, "remarkable for its deep-red 

 flowers and the closeness with which they are arranged." It is more tender 

 than the common tree rhododendron. (Bot. Reg., May, 1843.) 



521. AZA'LEA 4341 Indica var. Bot. Reg. 1842, 56. 



This beautiful double red azalea was imported from China by W. Wells, 

 Esq., of Redleaf. It is much handsomer than any of the double-flowering 

 kinds that have been originated in this country. (Bot. Reg., Oct. 1842.)

Nellie Paxt. Dr. Neill's hybrid. 



This a hybrid between E. aristata and E. Vmnasmdes. It is an elegant jilant, 

 with deep-pink flowers softeniuir into white in the limb. (Paxt. Mag. of Bot., 

 Oct. 1842.) 



Pier'is oval folia G. Don. A fine evergreen shrub, a native of the north of

This plant very much resembles an ^irbutus, but the fruit, instead of being 

 many-seeded, is a 5-celled drupe. The plant is a pretty, half-hardy, evergreen 

 shrub growing 5 or 6 feet high, and flowering abundantly. (Bot. Reg., June, 

 1843.)
